After investing time and money in a pop up lawn sprinkler system, it is important to make sure the system is continually operating at optimum efficiency. Here are some examples of how to properly maintain your pop up lawn sprinkler system.
The sprinkler heads themselves should be kept free of any substances that may cause the pop up lawn sprinkler system to fail to deploy and properly distribute the water. Examine the heads periodically to make sure that dirt is not clogging any of the heads, or preventing them from rising and distributing the flow of water. If the lawn sprinklers are constructed of metal components, they should also be checked for any signs of rust or other corrosion. Anything that impedes the sprinkler heads from deploying properly and providing water to the area at optimum efficiency should be cleaned or replaced.
Check the position of the heads relative to the current state of the ground. Over time, subtle changes in terrain may cause the heads in the lawn sprinkler system to shift or angle slightly. This will also impact the ability of the system to adequately distribute the flow of water. Adjust the position and angle of the heads as needed, so that they will continue to do the job properly.
While it is rare, the lines that connect the pop up lawn sprinkler heads may weaken, creating breaks that allow water to seep out under the lawn line. Walk the areas where the lines are laid from time to time and take note of any sections of your lawn that appear to be spongy. If you find such an area, dig up the section of line and check for any leaks. Replace the lines as needed.
Keeping your pop up lawn sprinkler system in top shape ensures that the unit will function properly for many years to come. By routinely monitoring for any potential problems and addressing them in a timely manner, you increase the chances that your lawn will remain lush and green for the life of your system.
